e-Knifeholder
Reduced set-up times, improved overall safety and greater predictability across the entire web—just a few of the benefits you can look forward to with Tidland’s e-Knifeholder. The industry's first all-electronic knifeholder provides full control over blade overlap and
side-force. More precise settings mean less blade wear and less downtime. Additionally,
the easy-to-use electronic operation eliminates dust and grime, reduces setup times and improves overall safety.
Key Features:
- The industry’s first all-electronic knifeholder increases accuracy and consistency by eliminating guesswork
- Full electronic control over overlap and side force
- Proper settings reduce blade wear, contributing to less downtime and operating costs
- Controlled locally with an easy-to understand graphical user interface
Easy Glider
Reduce setup time and increase your ability to compete on shorter runs with the Easy Glider from Tidland.
The Easy Glider incorporates the best of both worlds; a true bearing
for ease of movement, plus a
dovetail guide bar for secure support and positive clamping.
An industrial quality linear bearing rail is integrated into a traditional dovetail guide bar, and a precision
recirculating ball bearing is designed into a Performance Series
knifeholder mount. The two systems (dovetail and bearing) function
independently without conflict.
Easy Glider is available on new Performance Series knifeholders, and can be retrofit to existing units as well.

DMS- Digital Measurement System
It's a simple system that gives you amazingly quick and accurate manual knife positioning.
The affordable Digital Measurement System is an extremely accurate and reliable method of measuring slitter knife positions. This easy to use system reduces operator error and greatly speeds up re-positioning times. For slit widths 20" (508 mm) and longer, accuracy is within ± .007" (.18 mm), and for slit widths under 20" (508 mm), accuracy increases to ± .002" (0.05 mm) or better. The Digital Measurement System is simple to install, requiring standard 110V power plus 80 psi (5.5 bar) minimum filtered air supply. It permanently mounts between existing machine frames using two end-mounting blocks supplied with the unit. And the electronic display can be mounted at any position on the
